NEW - Mark Through UPC

Partners in elegant crimes for years, they know each other like brothers and have perfected the rules of the game.

Roy is the careful one. Saves every penny. Takes his medication regularly. Without it, his obsessive-compulsive disorder kicks in and he is too nauseated to do anything but stare at the dirt on the carpet.

Frankie is the adventurous one, hungry for a big score. He wants Roy to join him in running a tricky game, but Roy is distracted - for good reason. Roy has just discovered that he is the father of a punky teenage daughter from a brief marriage that ended years ago. Much to the frustration of Roy's partner, the kid wants to get to know her father. She also wants to learn the family business.

Eric Garcia is currently at work on Hot and Sweaty Rex, the third novel in his acclaimed series about dinosaur detective Vincent Rubio. He is also developing a series for the SciFi Channel based on the Rex novels. He lives outside Los Angeles with his wife and daughter.

Stanley Tucci's first co-directing, co-screenwriting, and acting effort was the acclaimed Big Night; he also wrote, directed and co-produced The Imposters and directed Joe Gould's Secret. Among his many film credits are Deconstructing Harry, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and The Road to Perdition; he won a Golden Globe and Emmy for his title performance in HBO's Winchell, and received a Tony nomination for his performance in Frankie and Johnny in the Claire de Lune.
